Draw -> PolySkin

The Draw -> PolySkin can skin between any two polygon mesh objects provided that they have the same number of points and polygons.

Used in conjunction with the Effect -> Push effect, this command can give objects a thickness. When this result is used in conjunction with the Polygon -> Breakup, Polygon -> Equalize, and Effects -> Explode effects, you can give each exploding polygon a thickness.

Procedure

1. Create two polygon mesh objects and place one inside the other.

2. Apply the Polygon -> Breakup effect to both polygon mesh objects (this is optional).

3. Choose the Draw -> PolySkin command.

4. Pick the inside polygon mesh, then pick the outside polygon mesh.

The resulting model with "thickness" is created.
